LAWYERS DINE AND TALK
This Annual Event Took Place at the
Hotel Terrace.
MEMBERS 01 THE BAR PRESENT
Ex-Judge Jessup Was President of the
Evening and ex-District Attorney
Kelly Tonstmostcr-Those Who
Responded to tho Toasts.
No plensanter event will be recorded
among the archives of the Lackawanna
Bar association than its twelfth an
nual dinner, held last night at the Ho
tel Terrace. This dinner Is a yearly
event, when the members of the bar
assemble, forget the court room with
Its contentions and bickerings, forget
the serious side of life and devote
themselves to social Intercourse, to re-

newlng and cementing old friendships.
Following the dinner a number of
toasts were responded to by eloquent
members of the bar In which the grave
and gay, wit and wisdom were Inter
woven to form a mosaic that was en
tertaining and edifying.
As the members of the bar arrived
they were greeted by the committee
of arrangements, consisting of Senator
M. E. McDonald, M. F. Sando, Walter
E. Hrlggs, James W. Oakford and R.
H. Patterson, and escorted to the
smoking room, where a brief period
was devoted to general conversation
prior to repairing to the banquet hall.
For several years past theBe gather
ings of the lawyers were held In the
corridor of the court house, but this
year it was decided to change the seat
of operations to the Hotel Terrace, an
admirable place for such a gathering,
ltcnut if ill Banquet Hall.
At 8.30 ex-Senator McDonald led the
banquetters Into the dinius hall Of the
Terrace, while Uauer's orchestra
played Sousa's "Dlrectoraire" march
The room was brilliant with lights and
artistically decorated with flowers and
made a truly beautiful picture. Nat
ural flowers were used In profusion on
the tables and their odor filled and
permeated the room.
The menu served by Landlord
Whyte was carefully prepared and
contained all the seasonable delicacies.
All of the courses were served with
great promptness by the well-drilled
corps of waiters of the hotel.
Those who surrounded the tables
were! Ex-Judge W. H. Jessup, ex
Justice Alfred Hand, ex-Judge H. A.
Knapp, ex-Lieutenant Governor L. A.
Watres, Judge F. W. Ounster, Judge H.
M. Edwards, ex-District Attorney John

Revenue Collector Herring Is not a
member of the bar, but was present as
the guest of the association. While the
edibles were being discussed Bauer's
orchestra played a number of selec
tions In brilliant style, which were In
terspersed with solos by Joseph Sum
merhill, Chet Brldgeman and Theodore
Bauschman.
Feast of Reason and Flow of Soul.
At 10.H0 ex-Judge Jessup arose and
after reading a letter of regret from
Judge H. M. McClure, who was unable
to be present, he eald that through
the Providence of God they were en
abled to gather around the board once
more. "The study of law," he said,
'strengthens and enlarges the mind,
but there is no royal road to success.
The great lawyers of today were the
hard students of ten years ago. I bid
you God speed In your noble profession
and hope that when we assemble here
one year hence we will have all ad
vanced farther In thoroughly under
standing the great principles that un
derly law and equity." Mr. Jessup
then Introduced ex-Dlstrlct Attorney
John P. Kelly as tonstmaster of the
evening. In a few felicitous remarks
Mr. Kelly accepted the duties of his
ofllce and without waste of words In
troduced Judge H. M. Edwards to re
spond to the first toast of the evening,
The Bench," to which was attached
the following sentiment:
"You are a worthy judge;
You know tho law; your exposition
Hath been moat sound."
After humorously chiding the com
mittee for the sentiment made a part
of the toast, Judge Edwards dwelt upon
the opinions expressed by Bacon and
Socrates on the qualifications of judges
and defined In a witty manner what
these personages meant. He closed by
assuring the members of the bar that
the bench of Lackawanna county has
nothing but the 4 most cordial and
friendly feelings for1 the members of
the bar and hoped that the latter would
continue from year to year to be an
ever-Increasing power for good In this
community and a great factor In our
civilization.
Toast to tho Senior Bar. '
Edward Merrifleld was the next
speaker, and he was asked to respond
to the toast, "The Senior Bar." As he
1
. ."I -5
arose deliberately one member of the
bar moved that he be given "permis
sion to print," bub Mr. Merrifleld, undis
mayed, began, "Gentlemen," he said,
by way of Introduction, and Just ul
that point a reproachful "What!" was
interpolated, as though Mr. Merrifleld
has made a serious mistake.
In speaking of the senior bar, he wald,
he would have to go back to the mother
county. However much Ill-feeling might
have been engendered by the struggle
when the county was divided he could
never forget the great lawyers of Lu
zerne who gave that bar a reputation
which extended far beyond the con
fines of the state. It produced not only
great lawyers, but great Judges. "When
we come down to our own county," con
tinued the speaker, "there were Silk
man. Rankin and the good Judge Ward,
whom we still have with us. Of those
who are entitled to be called the senior
members of this bar It Is unnecessary
to particularize. They are well known
to you all, and their worth and wealth
of Intellect has done something, I feel
warranted In saying. In placing the bar
of this county lit the enviable position
It now occupies among the other bars
of this commonwealth.
Toastmaster Kelly introduced James
J. O'Neill, of Curbondale, to speak for
"Anthracite County." Mr. O'Neill said
that portions of Susquehanna and
Wuynn counties were anxious to have
a county of their own, for they had tired
of furnishing material for the bench
and bar of this county, and had con
cluded that it was time they kept them
at home, and utilized their talents in
new courts to be established for the
transaction of their business. Carbon
dale was watching this movement wi!h
a good deal of Interest, In the hope that
In the general round-up she will be a
named as the county seat. It would be
an honor worthily conferred on the
moat progressive city east of the Mis
sissippi a city that has contributed
so majiy of her sons to swell the list of
men who are winning fame for this
city along all the lines of human en
deavor. When people come to realize
that new courts are necessury to secure
Justice to the persons who appeal to
them, they will conclude that it can
be done In no better way than by es
tablishing a new county with the old
Pioneer City as It seat.
Colonel F. J. Fitzsimmons spoke on
"The Income Tax." He said:
Colonel 1'itslinmons on Income Tax.
I know of no pubjpet aside from the
currency of tarllf that 1 would rather
discuss that the Income Tax. AVhlle
my views may not be shared by you all,
yet I feel confident that they are as
near correct as any yet given to the
public by tho legislators at Washing
ton, the most eminent advocates of the
American bar, of by the Judges of the
highest Judirinl tribunal in the land.
They differed with each other all along
the line. No two agreed except the two
who opposed the law before the Su
preme court nnd the other two who de
fended It, and we all know why they
agreed and how eloquently they could
have disagreed had they been on oppo
site sides of the case. They, however,
are not as bad as the two distinguished
I'hlladelphlans who each, recently, felt
that he only could solve a problem
that lhas Ibeem agitating the brainui
of statemen since long before Cleopatra
first shook the Human Empire by fas
cinating the mighty Ceasar. One gave
leaders dally in his great newspaper
and the other expressed himself
through the columns of another great
journal. They finally challenged one
another to public debate and by com-'
mon consent they agreed to deliver
themselves at llnrrlsburg before the
sages on the hill they being more in
net-d of knowledge than any other body
In the state.
Their lectures were beautiful essays
brilliant with epigram and dazzling
with metaphor. They spoke charming
ly about monometallism and bimetal
lism, free coinage and unlimited coin
age, demonetization and remonetlza
tlon, and when they had concluded a
member of the house moved that a
vote of thanks le given the speakers
for their lucid, exhaustive and compre
hensive remarks. Not a person pres
ent had gotten an Idea from what had
been said, yet the motion prevailed
unanimously and a wag said that It
was the most Intelligent vote recorded
In the legislative body up to that time.
Tho speeches were published and ever
since the two advanced thinkers have
been writing editorials explaining
what they meant and wherein they dif
fered. The person who entered Mr.
O'Brien's house recently understood the
value of silver practically. He did not
wait to theorize or else he might have
been caught, Mr. Scragg succeeded in
having two Juries disagree when his
client was charged with stealing gold.
His client may have been Innocent,
as he had neither gold or silver when
the case ended. Now as to the Income
Tax, I have read all about it. I did so
unconsciously. A friend handed me a
book and told me to read It. He snld
It treated on the leading question of
the hour. Thinking It was Trilby I
read It. I shall not speak of its doubt
ful origin or buffettlng voyage through
congress. The Congressional Record
may bear it, but I do not think you
could. I will not say that It Is consti
tutional or unconstitutional because I
do not know nor does anybody else.
The brilliant Choato argued that it
was a direct tax and therefore uncon
stitutional; the logical Carter
maintained that It was an indi
rect tax and consequently con
stitutional, and the chief Justice, In an
exhaustive opinion, said they were
both right; that the tax was direct and
Indirect, constitutional and unconstitu
tional. I have not handled this subject
very profoundly because I think It Is
of very little consequence to the mem
bers of the Lackawanna bar.
They should consider things that con
cern themselves. It is a Just tax.
Every one ought to be happy who has
to pay It. The millionaire who owns
no real estate ought not to escape con
trbutlng toward the support of the gov
ernment that protects him. I cannot
subscribe to the quotations attached to
tha toast assigned me. I do not think
the Income Tax should be termed "a
knavish piece of work." The language
of the mistrustful Dane Is that of sus
picion, superstition, despair and melan
choly. While Hamlet Is one of the
mit famous of Shakespeare's Immor
tal creations, yet he Is the saddest to
contemplate. Shelly has beautifully
said that the sweetest songs are those
that tell of saddest thought. But we
do not want sadness and gloom at our
banquet board. I trust It was not an at
tempt to belittle the national adminis
tration that suggested a line from the
Prince of Denmark, tho graceful lad
who brooded over suicide and saw
ghosts. I hope partisanship has not
gone so far.
I have tried to obey the Injunction of
the commltteee that Invited me to
speak. I was told to talk about any
thing I wished, but to never refer to the
toast. I cannot refrain, however, from
saying the Income Tax Is all right. I de
sire to congratulate the members of the
to congratulate the members of the
committee on their excellent taste.
This Is a delightful place to dine. It Is
a spot where a poet might dream of
tilled fields, limped streams and skies
of stainless blue.
Law and Justice.
Ex-Congres'sman Amerman respond
ed to the toast "Law and Justice." He
said:
We frequently, yet unadvisedly, use
the terms law and justice as synonyms.
We have taught ourselves to believe
that what Is law is justice, and what Is
Justice is law. Our clients more fre
quently recognize tnan we do that this
Is not true. Centuries ago the bench
and the bar realized that the law and
Its administration many times worked
injustice and they established courts of
equity to correct the law where it was
defective by reason of Its universality.
But now the courts have In a grtiat
measure undone equity by declaring
that equity follows the law.
It has been solemnly decided by the
Supreme court of Texas and made a
matter of record that where law and
Justice conflict It is the duty of the
court to follow the law. Justice
Roberts, in writing the opinion. Bays:
"To follow Justice when in harmony
with law must be a pleasure; but to
follow the rules of law to whatever
consequences they may lead Is a duty."
While other courts may not thus have
specifically decided, law first and justice
afterward, they do follow It In practice.
A court Is not a place where Justice
Is administered, but a place where Jus
tice Is judicially administered that' is
where law and Its rules are followed
to whatever consequences they may
lead. If Justice stands In the way "It
Is run over."
We are constantly reading In the re
ports and frequently hearing from the
bench, "This Is a hard case, but we
must follow the law." There are no
courts of Justice, they are courts of
law. The bench and bar for centuries
have been and are now laboring to
mnke courts of law courts of Justice.
What law Is it (hat just and learned
judges must follow though it be con
trary to Justice? The statute luw.
This the people In time remedy and
muke conform to justice more nearly.
Can law have precedents following
other precedents and these following
other precedents' buck to the dark ages?
JUDGE H. M. EDWARDS.
Upon these depend In great measure
the life, liberty and property of the
people. The times demand a court of
justice to correct the mistakes of the
past as much as the court of equity
was demanded to correct the defects of
the law.
Upon the back of the thousands of
law reports should be branded, "There
Is no law greater than Justice." Permit
me fully to call your attention to some
other instances where law Is not Jus
tice. Under the wretched divorce laws
a man divorced In Ohio a few years ago
and marrying again In New York was
convicted of bigamy and-Imprisoned for
a term of years. His children by the
last marriage were declared Illegiti
mate In Ohio and deprived of their In
heritance. This Is law, but not justice.
In the Jail of Lackawanna county Is
a woman charged with no crime. She
has been there for months and may be
there for many months more. She is
held as a witness in a homicide case.
The common weal demands It; but
the commonwealth will not support her
dependant ones or pay her for her time
thus taken. This Is law, but It Is not
Justice. A prisoner in Jail too poor or
unknown cannot furnish ball. He is
tried and found not guilty. The com
monweal demanded his Imprisonment.
The commonwealth does not pay him
for his time nor support those depend
ent upon him. This Is law, but It is not
Justice.
The commonwealth's witnesses are
paid, his are not. This Is law, but It Is
not Justice. A Judgment for a shilling
will permit the party who deems him
self aggrieved to appeal to the Supreme
court. A party convicted, sen
tenced and Imprisoned for years
cannot have an appeal to the Supreme
court as a matter of right. It must be
specially allowed by a Judge. This Is
law,i but It is not Justice.
A Juror who can neither read nor
write determines the rlghtB of liberty
and property. Would it not be more
conducive to Justice to have an edu
cational qualification for Jurors?
In the trial of a case points of law are
submitted by the attorneys for the
court to answer for the guidance of
the jurors. Would It not be more con
ducive to Justice If they were answered
In writing nnd sent out with the jury?
Might not the same be said In reference
to the evidence?
A deed Is acknowledged by a married
woman In presence of her husband.
The purchase money is paid and she
and her husband enjoy the same, The
husband dies and she, as a widow, can
and sometimes does repudiate her deed.
This Is law, but It Is not Justice. Time
will not permit the extension of this
catalogue of Injustice.
The remedy lies with the bench and
the bar. Show this Injustice to the peo
ple; enlist the press; form bar associa
tions and frame remedial statutes and
demand their passage by congress and
legislatures.
Mr. Torrcy's Toost, the Ladies..
City Solicitor Torrey, In responding
to the toast "The Ladles," said that
he preferred the title woman to that of
lady. Woman, he said. Is the noblest
of God's creatures and deserving of our
highest respect. As civilization pro
gressed she was raised from the posi
tion of slave to that of a toy and then
to be tho queen of our households.
Only the men who treat women as the
queens of their homes are worthy of a
place In our Nineteenth century civili
zation. It Is one of the saddest things
In reflecting on the social evils
of the day that men are addict
ed to, that the punishment due their
sins Is usually borne directly or Indi
rectly by women. The speaker closed
by quoting Milton's beautiful tribute
to woman.
The last ttoast on the Hat, "Labor and
Law," drew forth a response from T. V.
Powderly, who said the subject as
signed to him was too great and too
vast to be dealt with in a few minutes.
At one time he did not believe that
there was any bond of sympathy be
tween the lawyer and the laborer, but
within the last few months since he
was admitted to the bar many In
stances had been brought to his atten
tion which show that the lawyer and
laborer have a common cause. The
speaker touched briefly on the income
tax and said he thought it was unjust
and a direct tax on labor, which creates
all wealth.
Revenue Collector Herring was called
upon, though not on the programme,
and made a few remarks devoted prin
cipally to. an expression of his desire to
see the Income tax wiped out of exist
ence. QUARTERED BY A COIL. -
An Oil Woll Workman Wound Around
tho Hull Wheel.
Toledo, O., May 9T Edward B. Clark,
an oil-well tooldresser, met a horrible
death In the oil fields this morning.
He was working near Findley and was
caught by the rope used In lfting the
tools from the well, when four colls of
the rope bound him to the bull wheel.
The engineer mlBsed him, and when
he reversed the engine Clark's lifeless
body dropped on the floor of the der
rick, literally cut Into four parts.
ANDREW riDO IS FOUND
He Had Been Lured Away by n
Peddler.
WAS DAZED AND WANDERING
Found In tho North End-Had Nothing to
Eat Slnco Monday and Was Taken
Home in a Weakened State,
ills Parents Overjoyed.
Andrew McHugh, the West Side boy
who disappeared mysteriously Mondny
morning, was found In. the North End
yesterday morning. He was walking
about) In a dazed condition and now lies
In a weakened state In his parents'
home on South Main avenue. Tho story
of his wandering is peculiar.
About 11 o'clock yesterday morning
Hotel-keeper Cuslck, of the North End,
saw the lad on Market street, walking
In a dazed way through the scorching
sun. Cuslck was well acquainted with
the lad and Andrew knew the hotel
keeper, but when the latter spoke to the
wanderer, he received no answer, tho
lud only hanging his head In a stuplfled
manner. This nlarmed Cuslck and he
Immediately telephoned to the central
police station.
In a ohort time the parents were ap
prized of. their son's discovery, nnd the
mother hastily procured a carriage
and was driven to Providence, where
the boy was being detained. He was
brought home In a semi-conscious con
dition and put to bed, where he has laid
since noon yesterday up to the present
writing.
Tho Lnd's Stranae Story.
At times during short awakening
spells the father questioned the boy as
to his tramp, nnd the following was
elicited: While on his way to school
Monday morning Andrew was met by
a peddler of Magic yeast cake samples.
The agent offered him a Job of distrib
uting samples at residences. lie re
ceived In return 25 cents ns payment.
Lured by the money the little fellow
accepted the proposition and spent
part of the day at the work.
After finishing the work he Jour
neyed to Dunmore, for what reason he
declines to say, and from thence went
to Nay Aug on a train. While there
the lad entered a confectionery store
and purchased cakes. These, with a
part of a lunch given him by a work
man, the same that was seen by Flre
mnn Dlcklenlck, was oil that the lad
ate during his stay away from horn.
Monday night he slept In an old shed
along the railroad. Tuesday he start
ed for Scranton and managed to reach
this city. Hungry, footsore and
weary, he started for the North End,
where he Was found by Mr. Cuslck.
Where he slept Tuesday nnd last night
Is not known, and as little can be ob
tained from the boy, a) complete account
of his wanderings Is Impossible. Mr.
McHugh and the rest of thei family are
overjoyed over the boy's safe return.
